After spending numerous years establishing his family built crane company with his brother, John had no idea that this journey would bring about the rise of JLG Industries, Inc. The world leader of mobile aerial work platforms and precision materials handling equipment was the end consequence of a road expedition. During their trip, John reacquainted himself with past business connections along the way. In combination with these conversations and a noteworthy event; two workers were unfortunately electrocuted on scaffolding when the Groves were passing through the Hoover Dam. John uncovered a vast marketplace for a product that could promptly and securely elevate individuals in the air to accomplish maintenance and other building services. Upon returning from their travels, John formed a joint venture with two friends and obtained a metal fabrication company in McConnellsburg, Pennsylvania. In 1970, opening operations with a crew of twenty staff, they designed and sold the first JLG aerial work platform. The business incorporates many of the simple design elements of that original lift into existing versions. Since then, JLG Forklifts have come a great distance from when Mr. John L. Grove came back from his fatefull cross-country journey and since the first JLG aerial platform entered the marketplace. As of today, the company has extended itself into quite a few global markets and continues to develop new machinery to guarantee that consumers are able to become safer and more well-organized within their workplace.
